A young fisherman starts his day by heading towards the middle of the sea to do his job - fishing. And suddenly he's in the middle of a thick fog. If this is me, I would have been miles away from the fog already. But he stays in the fog until his small boat knocks on a white yacht named The Aeolus

He checks out the yacht - it is completely deserted. He goes up just to find that his boat is no longer tied to the yacht. He tries the radio on the yacht - nothing. So now he is literally alone, in the middle of nowhere. 

He somehow got trapped inside the toilet and cannot get out of it despite everything he tried. There were evidence that someone has tried to free himself/ herself before when he encountered blood marks inside the mirror cabinet inside the toilet.

And while he tries to free himself, he thinks he heard someone outside of the toilet. When he finally managed to get out of the toilet, the boat is already waist-deep in seawater. He tries everything to pump the water out. Tired, he sleeps below deck. 

And when he wakes up, again, the door is locked. Weird though, it seems that the Aeolus is on autopilot heading back into a heavy fog area. 

Will he ever free from the boat? And what's wrong the boat?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.6/ 5.0 Weird enough, I stayed throughout the movie and didn't fall asleep. The ordeal that this fisher went through made me nervous about the sea.

Just when you think he will rise above the ordeals, comes another one. The twists certainly keeps me stay through the movie.

Cast: 4.7/ 5.0 What cast? There's only one actor and despite that you could count the amount of lines that he said in the movie, he conveyed his feelings well through his facial expression and body language. 

Yes, there's only one actor. 

Will I review it again: No. Not because that it is not great but because it enhances my anxiety about traveling on sea. 

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.

  4. This sounds like a strange movie, with only one cast member, and strange events happening to him. I'm not sure if this is horror or thriller, but it sure sounds like one of those movies that mess with your mind and leave you feeling disturbed for the rest of the week.
